- Produce the accent letter if the user hits the accent key twice.

  (accent_key + space does still print the accent letter too, as in
  the previous commit.)
  Requested by a couple of users.
- Clear the accent flag when the next_screen key is pressed.
- Added some comment lines regarding accent key processing.
